Next, each step of the method of outputting the scrolling data of the present invention will be described. Please refer to FIG. 4 , which is a block flow diagram of a method for outputting scrolling data of a wheel in a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The method for outputting the scrolling data of the wheel of the invention comprises the following steps:

Step A: Detect if the mouse wheel is toggled.

Step B: Determine if the fixed scrolling function of the mouse is activated.

Step C: Determine whether the scrolling displacement of the roller is greater than a preset displacement.

Step D: Output the scrolling data corresponding to the scroll displacement amount.

Step E: Determine whether the time when the scroll wheel is toggled is less than the preset time.

Step F: Output preset scrolling data.

Step G: Determine if the power of the mouse is activated.

Wherein, in step A, when it is detected that the mouse wheel is toggled, step B is performed, otherwise step A is performed again. In step B, when it is determined that the fixed scrolling function of the mouse has been activated, step C is performed, otherwise step D is performed. In step C, when it is determined that the scroll displacement amount of the roller is greater than the preset displacement amount, step E is performed, otherwise step D is performed. In step E, when it is determined that the time when the scroll wheel is toggled is less than the preset time, step F is performed, otherwise step D is performed. In step G, when it is determined that the power of the mouse is activated, step A is performed again, otherwise the method is ended.

Next, the operation of the method for outputting the scrolling data of the mouse by the mouse of the present invention will be described. Please refer to FIG. 2, FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 at the same time. First, assume that the computer system connected to the mouse 3 adopts the following settings: when the wheel 341 is pushed down one unit, and the computer system receives a unit of scrolling data At the time, the computer system controls the window to scroll down by 3 lines. After the power of the mouse 3 is turned on, the control unit 35 starts the method of the present invention. First, step A is performed: detecting whether the scroll wheel 341 of the mouse 3 is toggled, wherein if the scroll wheel 341 is not continuously toggled, it is repeated. Go to step A. When the user operates the mouse 3 and dials the two units of the roller 341, the roller 341 rotates and drives the roller shaft 342 to rotate, so that the magnetic member 343 on the roller shaft 342 also rotates to generate a magnetic field change. At this time, the magnetic sensing element 344 can generate a scroll displacement amount corresponding to two units of rotation of the roller 341 according to a change in the magnetic field. Therefore, the control unit 35 receives the scroll displacement amount corresponding to two units, and can judge in step A that the roller 341 has been toggled to perform step B. On the other hand, when the control unit 35 starts detecting that the roller 341 is being toggled, it starts counting the time when the roller 341 is toggled.

In step B, the control unit 35 determines whether the fixed scrolling function of the mouse is activated, and the starting mode of the fixed scrolling function of the mouse can be as described in the previous paragraph, and therefore will not be described again. When the control unit 35 determines that the fixed scrolling function of the mouse is not activated, proceeding to step D: outputting the scrolling data corresponding to the scrolling displacement amount, that is, the control unit 35 outputs the scrolling displacement amount corresponding to the two units. The scroll wheel scrolls the data to the computer system, causing the computer system to scroll the distance of 6 lines. If the computer system is in the first person shooting game, at this time, the computer system will replace the operation of the next two weapons. However, when the control unit 35 determines that the fixed scrolling function of the mouse has been activated, step C is performed to determine whether the scrolling displacement amount of the roller 341 corresponding to two units is greater than the preset displacement amount. The preset displacement amount is set to one unit of the scroll displacement amount. Therefore, the control unit 35 determines that the scroll displacement amount at this time is greater than the preset displacement amount, and proceeds to step E.

Next, the control unit 35 compares the time when the scroll wheel 341 is toggled and the preset time in step E. For example, the control unit 35 determines that the time when the scroll wheel 341 is toggled is 1.5 seconds, and when it is greater than the preset time, step D is performed. : Outputs the scrolling data corresponding to the scroll displacement amount. If it is another case, the control unit 35 determines that the time when the scroll wheel 341 is toggled is 0.5 seconds, and is less than the preset time, and proceeds to step F: outputting the preset scrolling data. In the preferred embodiment, The preset scroll scrolling data is set to correspond to one unit scrolling displacement amount, and the preset scrolling scrolling data is also stored in the control unit 35 in advance. Therefore, the control unit 35 outputs the preset scrolling data corresponding to the rolling displacement amount of one unit to the computer system, so that the computer system performs the operation of scrolling the distance of three lines. If the computer system is performing a first person shooter game, at this time, the computer system will perform the operation of replacing the next weapon.

There are two special requirements. First, since the method of the present invention includes a predetermined time operation, even if the mouse 3 of the present invention has activated the fixed scrolling function, the user can slowly move the roller 341. Operation, and the general scrolling function of the mouse 3 can be performed. For example, when the user dials three units of the scroll wheel 341 within 0.5 seconds, the control unit 35 determines through step C and step E that the user desires to perform a fixed scrolling function, and outputs a preset scrolling scrolling data. The computer system performs the operation of replacing the next weapon. When the user dials three units of the scroll wheel 341 within 2 seconds, the control unit 35 determines through step C and step E that the user desires to perform the general scrolling function, and outputs a scrolling displacement amount corresponding to three units. The scroll wheel scrolls the data so that the computer system can replace the operation of the next three weapons.

Secondly, in step C of the method of the present invention, the scrolling displacement of the roller must be greater than the preset displacement amount, and step E is performed, and the scrolling displacement of the roller is set to be greater than or equal to the preset displacement amount according to the demand. . The judgment of step E is also the same.

Finally, the control unit 35 performs step G: determining whether the power of the mouse 3 is activated. If the power of the mouse 3 is still activated, the step A is performed again. Otherwise, it means that the mouse 3 has been used, so the method ends. It should be noted that the roller module 34 in the preferred embodiment uses the magnetic component 343 and the magnetic sensing component 344 as components for generating the amount of scroll displacement, and is for illustrative purposes only, and not limited thereto. . In another preferred embodiment, the roller module can also use a conventional encoder to generate a scroll displacement. The mouse including the roller module can also implement the method of the present invention.

According to the above, the user can activate the fixed scrolling function of the mouse of the present invention during the first person shooting game through the method of outputting the mouse and the scrolling data of the present invention, so as to be fixed when needed. The preset scroll wheel scrolls the data and accurately controls the rotation of the roller, thereby solving the situation in which the mouse is prone to malfunction in the prior art. The method of the invention is applicable to the non-paragraph mouse (also known as the shuttle mouse) in addition to the general roller mouse, and the non-paragraph mouse does not have the scale structure, and the user cannot accurately control. The stroke of the mouse without the paragraph feels. In other words, with the method of the present invention, the non-paragraph mouse can also accurately output the fixed preset scrolling data to accurately perform the operation of the scroll wheel. In addition, when the fixed scrolling function is activated, the user can also control the length of time the scroll wheel is used to determine whether to use the fixed scrolling function of the mouse.

The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Therefore, any equivalent changes or modifications made without departing from the spirit of the present invention should be included in the present invention. Within the scope of the patent application.
